Neato D10's 300 minute runtime, covering 2,700 square feet on a single charge, makes it ideal for large homes. You can't use circles to clean a square corner. Neato's D-shape allows for a 70% larger brush than those found in round robots along with an industry-leading 0.70 liter dirt bin that holds more dirt between cleanings. Neato D10 offers corner-to-corner and edge-to-edge cleaning in a short amount of time and its unique Helix multi-surface brush is now 50% quieter on hard surfaces. Neato D10 offers 60% greater dirt pickup than D3 & D5. The powerful performance is combined with an easy-to-clean true HEPA filter that captures up to 99.97% of allergens and fine dust particles as small as 0.3 microns. Equipped with energy-saving Eco Mode for general vacuuming to high-performance Turbo Mode and D10's exclusive new Max Mode means Neato's D10 gets the job done. The Neato D10 uses LaserSmart powered by LIDAR, same technology used in self-driving vehicles, to map and navigate your home with precision, leaving your carpets with those satisfying straight vacuum lines in no time. Because it uses lasers, not cameras, to navigate your home it works just as well in low light conditions like under furniture and never records images of you and your belongings. It also doesn't have microphones on board and features state-of-the-art encryption both on the robot and in the cloud. With regular software updates sent automatically, you can feel confident you're getting the latest features as soon as they're released. Get cleaning in minutes with Neato’s hassle-free setup using the MyNeato app. Create Zones to target trouble spots more often—like crumbs under the dining table. Create No-Go Zones to avoid spaces such as a pet dish or child’s play area. Clean where you want, when you want—on demand or scheduled in advance. Available in a premium, high-gloss brushed silver finish that fits in with any décor. Let Neato D10 take care of the dirty work. You've got better things to do.

OK, the first unit I received had problems... It never mapped the entire first floor, it never docked properly, it wouldn't charge, it would sometimes just got over the same area over and over, the dust bin wouldn't close properly...
I called Neato Tech Support (without them knowing I was a Top100 Contributor in BB TIN) and the support was fantastic. Immediate access to a live tech all three times I called and the agent was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Long story short, I was able to get a new unit and it was a complete 180 from the first one. This one charged, was meticulous in mapping and did a great job on both carpet and hard floors.
Our main floor is about 2600 total square feet and I purposely shut doors to our bedroom, my office and my wife's office when it ran it's first few cycles. We also have a very large sunken living room. The unit was very good at "learning the layout and it did a great job at identifying the curved edge into the sunken area.
The app is decent. You can set routines, create custom no-go zones, start a cycle, adjust power / eco ratios...
One area (and it's probably a minor complaint) is the dust-bin seems relatively small. But us having two dogs and two cats, the bulk of the volume is animal hair. I'm for pet-free homes it would be plenty.
End of the day, it does what a robo-vac should do and it does it very well. As you can see in the pictures, it does a nice job on the carpet and you can see the tracks where it did a thorough job. The hard surfaces also were thoroughly cleaned.
In all a decent, smart robo-vac option.

Great Luxury Coffee Machine
on October 16, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Wow! WAY more coffee maker than I need... But so much coffee maker to love!
Let's start with the fact that this probably considered a "luxury" item, especially for a typical home environment. That said, if you are a coffee drink aficionado, this a great option.
From opening the box to set-up to first coffee drink was maybe 20 to 25 minutes. Instructions say before first use to run 3 or 4 coffees through it. Set up was not difficult but using the quick set-up guide was certainly helpful.
For general use, this could not be more simple. fill with water, fill with beans (fresh ground coffee is sssooo much better IMHO), fill with milk (if desired), power it on and hit the drink icon you want to make. You'll hear it heat the water, ground the beans, froth the milk and then out pumps a great fresh cup!
A couple things I really like: It froths the milk quickly and thoroughly. My older Saeco also has a froth bar but you need to manually do it. This one does it for you. It also has a "self cleaning" option for the head of the milk frother. Simple one touch and it cleans it self. You still need to clean the milk tank but cool feature.
I also appreciate the size of not only the water tank, but also the bean hopper AND the bean disposal bin.
One minor complaint (and yes, it is minor) is I wish it had a small storage area for the water steamer thingy, the descaler and the scoop. On the other hand, it does come with a small bag of coffee so if you don't have them, you can go ahead and make your first few drinks if you forget beans.
End of the day, great choice if you have the means and enjoy a great cup!

The Escort MAX 360c MKII is a high-performance radar and laser detector with advanced connectivity. We started with our legendary quality and ease of use and improved on it with the latest hardware available. The MAX 360c MKII radar detector now features an upgraded dual-antenna platform, Blackfin DSP chip, and dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. The result is better detection performance delivered more quickly and fewer false alerts to distract you from your drive.

I have a Mercedes-Benz E550 4Matic. It has 402 horsepower that will do 0-60 MPH in 4.9 seconds. It will cruise at 80 MPH like it's doing 60. Fantastic car, BUT just too easy to speed. And not JUST speed, but speed 20 or 30 MPH without any effort. Needless to say, it is a speeding ticket trap.
I had an Escort [same company now] 9500ci with Lasershift built in radar/laser detector installed in 2017. It was at the time, the GOAT of all radar/laser detectors. At $2000, considering it would potentially save me countless tickets, it was a no brainer. As I proceed with this review, PLEASE NOTE, I will not compare the Escort 9500ci in features because that would not be fair. The 9500ci was amazing for its day, but several-year-old tech is in no way comparable to today. That said, I will compare this Escort Max 360c MK II to the 9500ci in regard to doing what they both do: DETECT RADAR/LASER!
The down and dirty? Yes, the Max 360c MKII not only picks up radar sooner, but also identifies false alerts and remembers them much more so than the 9500. As for how much sooner it picks up, there are so many Indvidual environmental variables that there really is "XX%", but it is certainly noticeable and universal. The 360 Max c MKII is an excellent choice. if you want to have that extra insurance from getting a ticket.
The 360 Max c MKII has some nice to have (certainly not need to have) features within the app. Quite a few settings that can be customized. End of the day, I didn't spend much time in the app and I applied the unit for what it was... A radar/laser detector.
A couple gripes. Not deal breakers but they were frustrating... First, I tried multiple times and from multiple PC laptops and kept getting very cryptic errors on trying to update the s/w. Finally called tech support (they were very professional and quick to respond) and they were stumped for several minutes. After maybe 10 or so minutes, they realized the error was because I already had the latest firmware installed from factory. It would have been nice to have had a quick pop-up saying "Congratulations, you are already at most recent firmware".
Another minor issue, I was not able to get the app to pair with the 360 after multiple attempts. I even used 3 different accounts on 3 different phones to no avail. Again, to tech support and they suggested doing a factory reset [PRO TIP: To factory default, power unit off. When powering back on, hold the "MRK and BRT" keys down simultaneously and it resets. It paired straight away after that. Not a deal breaker, but an FYI.
End of the day, even with these minor inconveniences, I have to give it a 5-star rating. It is VERY good at doing what it does; detect radar and laser. Sadly, I have powered off the 9500. It was a great companion but simply does not stack up to its newer sibling.

Great Option For Larger Area's, Multi Use Features
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Where to start? I guess first, I'll say this is a great purifier/fan/heater combo!
When this arrived on my porch, I will admit I was somewhat taken aback at its size. It was bigger than I expected. Is that a bad thing? Well no. The larger the fan, the more air is purified, and the more air is moved. Nice feature with this fan is that it can purify AND move both cool and heated air.
Unpacking was simple, a couple quick slices from the handy Spyderco Para 3 and we were ready to go. Shark makes it very clear that the filter is plastic wrapped and needs to be removed before use. From open to operation, was maybe 5 to 7 minutes. Easy money!
While this fan is designed for up to 1000 sq. ft., I decided to put this in my bedroom. It is nowhere near 1000 s.f, but it is about 450 s.f. and I am (according to my wife) a nuclear reactor who creates insane heat when I sleep. I LOVE having a fan on me pretty much all the time to cool me down. this does not disappoint!
The unit has speeds of 1-6. up to 3, it near silent. As you go higher, the noise does increase, but even at 6, it is (to my ear) peaceful white noise. Certainly not intrusive.
Some nice features include a remote control, oscillation and several air monitoring features that are all controlled from the remote.
End of the day, this is a great choice for LARGE rooms. I would recommend to a friend!

Good Value, Decent Product
on October 5, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
After 175+ reviews as a TIN member, I'm seeing what appears to be BB's attempt to offer well priced, BB Branded items. Similar to how another very large on-line retailer from Seattle started their "Basics" product line in 2009, BB appears ready to answer that bell. This product is a good starting point.
Designed to work with the Apple MagSafe magnetic wireless charging system. It is essentially a Qi standard based wireless charger but with the addition of the powerful (and cleverly designed) magnetic attaching system.
Personally I am an Android guy, but my wife loves her Apple iOS environment. We used this in her car with her iPhone 13 Pro. The "good" was that it held relatively large iPhone firmly while driving, but it did NOT hold the phone while the phone was in it's case. Admittedly, there are cases designed to allow this, but her being a very active cyclist and general all-around outdoor athlete, she likes the protection that her robust case offers. Is this a ding to this product? Well, no, but just something to note if you are considering this technology.
The other minor issue we had is that the "notch" that is designed to be placed into your cars vent is tight. As in VERY tight. It was difficult to get it attached. Additionally, most car vents are not designed to hold the weight of large phone like the iPhone 13 Pro. I would worry about how the vents would hold up over time. We were able (using good old fashioned Country Girl and Boy ingenuity) get it mounted alternatively, but having more standard options would be a "nice to have".
End of the day, a decent product and she is happy that she can drive while simultaneously charging her phone and looking at the happy faces of Mr. Sam and The Pinto Bean!

Excellent Luxury Styling $ Dryer

Truth be told, the feedback I received from this from my daughter and wife because, well, my bald head had little to offer, so here is their feedback:
They both LOVED it! Here are some notes:
*Representation and compatibility w many different hair types
*Cool touch areas for safety and comfort
*Easy to use, intuitive
*Compatible with many hair types
*Attractive, durable packaging
*Packaging space seems to be utilized efficiently too
*Instructions provided as well as 4+ QR codes to online instructions
*Tools are easy to use and offer many options

My seventeen-year-old daughter has long hair. After using for several days and experimenting with the various tools, each day her hair had a different "look" or "texture"... I'm honestly not sure if I am using the correct nomenclature or terminology, but that's the best I can articulate.
End of the day, this is probably a borderline "luxury" item but that said, if you have the means and need, they both highly recommend it. And I also know they both have recommended it to personal friends.
Great product!

Excellent choice for quality and value!
First impressions, this is a quality item. Packaging was solid and simple. Opening box you'll find the charger and the ubiquitous simple info sheet. Not too much to it, but what is there certainly feels high quality. It's made of metal and solid plastics. Other similar products I've tested had a cheap feel. They certainly worked, but did not have the heft and attractive lines that this has.
We tested with my wife's iPhone 13 Pro and AirPods Pro. The Velox handled both like a champ. The phone was held in place with a confident feel and the AirPods sat comfortably on the indented pad.
A couple of items to note: First {as advertised} it does not come with a plug in block for wall charging. No big deal, most of us have a couple extra laying around. Second, the case we tested for her phone was a Spec case and it did NOT hold magnetically nor did it charge. That said, her AirPods DID charge while in their case. Just know, this is case specific and your individual case may or may not work.
End of the day, this a welcome addition to most any décor, desk or counter. A great value in an attractive device.

Excellent Choice For The Serious Gamer
on October 2, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Excellent choice for the serious gamer! For the record, I am not going to address any particular "tech specs" since that information can be found on the Best Buy site as well as the Roccat Syn Max Air website and tech specs are not subjective, they are what they are. Instead, I'm going to focus on the "comfort" and "usability" aspects.
I got these for my wife to use. My son is in US Navy Nuclear Propulsion School in South Carolina. We are here in Colorado, so the two of them play games on the weekends while the kid has his limited free time. These offer a great environment to play for us. They are lightweight, comfortable and well, they just look cool!
As for the comfort features, my wife wears glasses and these are designed with what Roccat calls "Prospecs" that offers a design to relieve some of the pressures that glasses offer with most over the air headsets. She said she could definitely tell a difference and that after multiple hours, she could really appreciate that.
Another nice feature is that the padding has a layer of cooling gel. As most anyone who has experienced hours of intense gaming, this is a very nice feature.
Another area where these excel is in the weight department. They are lightweight yet they still have a quality feel. The headband is comfortable and almost disappears.
One area for improvement would be if the base had a slot to hold the USB-A to USB-C adapter and another slot to hold the rubber microphone cover. Perhaps a minor nitpick, but certainly a valid one.
In all, great product if you have the need and the budget.

Great value cam, good starter system.
Inside the box, the usually expected items. Camera, charge cable, mount and mounting hardware. Charge it, mount it, load the app and setup took little effort.
Camera has physical on/off switch so can't control that with the app. No biggie for most since you'll probably want the camera on all the time anyway. It does have the option to place a Micro SD card for local recording. A nice feature. Overall, the camera has a decent feel as far as quality.
The video quality is very good. It's 1080p so certainly good enough for most home environs. I think for most home systems, 4K is a nice to have, but certainly not a NEED to have and this camera certainly meets the needs of most.
One minor annoyance is that it seems to have a somewhat slower "response" time in waking up for motion activations, but t be fair, I am comparing this to much more expensive wireless ecosystems I currently have. Deal breaker? Well no, because if you don't have anything to compare it too, that is just "normal".
End of the day, I would recommend this, especially as an entry camera and in smaller environments, such as smaller homes and apartments.

Excellent Budget Option And Still High Quality
on September 27, 2022
Posted by: Posted1
Great little doorbell cameras. I have had several between our houses we have in 2 separate states. This little unit is an excellent affordable option. Some other "big name" doorbell camera's can get in the $100+ to $200+ range.
Set up was simple. The included mounting equipment was simple, the wired doorbell is simply 2 screws. Pretty much impossible to mess up. If you may not be the handiest person, I am sure most people know someone who could help them out.
One thing I definitely appreciate about the Wyze system is it's native 3:4 camera aspect ratio. Many others use the 16:9 aspect ration which leaves so much unused screen, whereas the 3:4 uses all of the screen on most phones and tablets. Nice feature.
Another feature that is nice (again, especially for the price) is the included LED. It's pretty bright!
End of the day, this is an excellent choice. If you already have the Wyze native environment, this is a no brainer. Or if you are debating which ecosystem to go with, I would certainly encourage you to take a serious look at Wyze. Impressive little unit!
